An Oakland County man who reportedly is schizophrenic has been accused of threatening to rape and sodomize Congresswoman Candice Miller of Harrison Township and her family unless she paid him $1 million, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Robby Nakia Harris, 38, of Pontiac, was charged in U.S. District Court with one count of mailing a threatening communication, a 10-year felony. He is being held in the Wayne County Jail until a detention hearing scheduled for 2 p.m. today.

A criminal complaint filed by the FBI in federal court alleges Harris sent a letter to Miller’s congressional office on Van Dyke Avenue in Shelby Township on Oct. 10 that demanded money. The letter threatened Miller, her family, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, with rape and death.

“Yall (sic) better trust us on death to you and your family and friends,” the letter stated. “Send the money 1 million in 5 days or less or die everybody!”

Erin Sayago, a spokeswoman for the congresswoman, said Miller had no comment on the charges.

Court documents show the letter’s return address was that of a 57-year-old Pontiac woman. When Secret Service agents interviewed her on Oct. 24, she identified Harris as the person writing the letter. She said he lives in the same apartment complex she does with his mother. She also told investigators Harris suffers from schizophrenia and has a bipolar disorder.

The woman said Harris had written her “love letters” in the past but agreed to stop doing so once she contacted his mother. A mail carrier returned several letters similar to the threatening one to Miller to the woman’s address. Those included letters addressed to Senator Debbie Stabenow, Congressman John Conyers, The White House, Pontiac High School and others.

When FBI agents interviewed Harris and his mother, Ruby Harris, he denied writing the letters and said he did not know Candice Miller. Ruby Harris showed investigators a note pad, envelope and stamps matching those used in the letter that was sent to Miller.

Court records show Harris has a federal felony conviction in 1998 for mailing threatening communications and a 1996 felony conviction for aggravated stalking. In addition, he has a personal protection order against him stemming from an Aug. 7, 2012, arrest by the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department for sending a threatening letter to the Pontiac City Clerk’s Office, which is still pending, according to court documents.
